Abstract:
The invention is a new compound derived from linoleic acid found in soybeans and many agronomically important
oilseeds, and can be used as an antifungal agent. This compound, which was produced by microbial transformation,
shows promise as an alternative to agents produced by chemical processes or from more costly substrates. The newly
isolated microbial strain catalyzing this transformation was identified as Clavibacter sp. ALA2 (Accession No.
NRRL B-21660).
